1st prize for «Velâzdo» Bulle at the «Prix de l'Immobilier Romand 2022» !
The jury for the «Prix Bilan for Real Estate in Swiss Romandie» awarded 1st prize in the «Mixed Buildings» category to the new urban complex at the railway station in Bulle, in the canton of Fribourg.
With its mixed program that includes housing, dining, day care facilities, shops, and offices, all in proximity to the station, Velâdzo prefigures neighborhoods of the future in the way that it combines pedestrian paths and meeting places that also stimulate local commerce. Arranged around a courtyard, the two L-shaped buildings create a genuine social space in the center of Bulle, urban and connected, to welcome travelers, workers, tourists, villagers, and city dwellers in a dynamic dialogue with the immediate environment as well as the surrounding landscape. The result of a competition won in 2018 by general contractor Halter SA in partnership with the architecture offices IB and Strata, Velâdzo Bulle is the first real estate project undertaken by the Public Transport Fribourg (TPF) group.
